The Romans are coming - posted by Russell Briant, 6 October 2021

 Finished these Legionnaire archers for my Middle Imperial Roman army. Ps(O), may support Bd(O).

These are the Aventine Miniatures Manuballista figures with two helmet variations.

    Are you mixing the manufacturer’s up a little for variation?

    Not much. All infantry will be Aventine. The Legionnaire clubmen were.
    The Carroballista were Brent lucky dip. Hinchcliff as it turned out.
    The cavalry mostly Victrix though Emperor Julianus will be Aventine though will need to do something about their ‘orrible ‘orses.

    Might have to organise another “Enemies of Rome” weekend. Seems to be a lot of Roman armies around.

    Those are serious bits of kit. All that armour and then “here’s a mini-artillery piece” mind your fingers

      Julian Hannam the Aventine site says no rules yet accommodate Manuballista. We suggest treating them as light artillery….
      ….or Legionnaire archers me thinks.
      You do need to glue on the bow staves. Took me a while to twig what the thin metal rods in the bags were.

      You would want one of those handy if a Parthian cataphract was hurtling towards you.

    The Romans are coming and the Persians are coming. Not the same era, but what’s a few centuries between empires?
